This month I was visiting my parents living in Dubai and I took the chance to make a video about the Burj Khalifa, while I was there. The building is amazing and the engineering behind it is fascinating. In this video we will learn about vortex shedding and mass dampers.

If you would like to learn more about Mass Dampers I highly recommend Practical Engineerings video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1U4SAgy60c
